This week on Whiskey Ginger, Andrew Santino is joined by the one-of-a-kind Atsuko Okatsuka — comedian, actress, and viral sensation — for a wild ride through her unique upbringing, her love of awkwardness, and how she turned trauma into triumph through comedy. They talk about growing up undocumented, how her “toilet paper dance” went viral during the pandemic, her hilarious takes on Asian-American identity, and how comedy saved her life. It’s heartfelt, weird, and classic Atsuko. 🧠 Subscribe for new episodes every Friday! 🍊 Follow Santino on IG: @cheetosantino 🎙️ Check Out Atsuko's New Special: Father on Hulu! #AtsukoOkatsuka #WhiskeyGinger #AndrewSantino #ComedyPodcast #StandupComedy #AsianAmericanVoices #ToiletPaperDance #WhiskeyGingerPodcast #ComedianLife #FunnyPodcast ========================================================= Sponsor Whiskey Ginger: https://public.liveread.io/media-kit/whiskeyginger SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS LIGHTSTRIKE HARD REFRESHER AN EXCELLENT SOURCE OF 5% ALCOHOL https://drinklightstrike.com!
